When the post speaks for itself 🥹

I see so many clients come to me that have “tried everything”

And I’m going to be honest…

You keep quitting each program from not seeing results fast enough yet you don’t have the right voice in your corner 🙌🏽

You’re battling the same brain that’s been sabotaging you for years 👌🏽

The one that’s made you obsessed with the scale

The one that’s made you beat the shit out of your body image

The one that’s held you back from dressing like you want & attending the events you want

This is the part of you that you need to learn how to detach from 👋🏽

SHE DOESN’T SERVE YOU

you can either hold onto the “safety net” that’s been beating you or choose to FIGHT BACK & recognize you deserve a better relationship with yourself 🫰🏽

Having the right Coach in the corner helps

I’m the non-bias voice of truth for my clients

I’m not obsessed with their number on the scale like they are

I don’t beat them up for foods they eat like they do

Their body image is there for me to build, not break 💪🏽

I am so proud of this client for not just building her back, belly, and booty 😉 but for realizing she was fckn worth it

Meet Kaytlyn 👋🏽 @beyondrecoveryprs

She came to me two months ago in search of more than just a physical transformation…

Yeah, she was ready to feel comfortable in her body

Specifically wanting to be lean, dial in her core, build her lower body, bring in some curves, & look like a bodybuilder without competing

But, she also came to me with:
- autoimmune issues
- a long list of food sensitivities & allergies
- debilitating period cycles
- non-existent recovery on leg days
- constantly feeling depleted
+ MORE

She’s been to countless doctors & specialists, with no one really listening to the full picture or taking time to piece together the dots 🧐

After reviewing her food sensitivity testing, gene testing, countless lab work, and asking her deep-rooted questions, it was clear what we needed to start working on first

She had never felt the same or been able to recover the same since getting sick with the v!d 😷

Everything was clear - 90% of what she was experiencing was happening at a cellular level

We’re focusing on doing a spike protein detox & clearing her body (and mind) of any unnecessary stress + inflammation

As a busy business owner, this is hard for one to do, but she’s taken everything I’ve given her & executed

And now we’re HERE 💥 the results are evident & we are on the path to making her the most undeniable version of herself

Kaytlyn’s case has been intricate, but she needed someone to listen to her & break down the whole picture, not just each symptom individually

Seeing momentum in every single area she came to me for + more, I cannot wait to see where time continues to take her 🔥

Congratulations on your success, Kaytlyn!

Proud to know you & proud to coach you 🙌🏽

Ladies -

there’s a lot of bigger things we can stand in solidarity about than a joke that didn’t hit for some

but we really need to look at the bigger issue of what’s going on…

WHY is everyone so offended? 👀

What’s your thoughts? 💭 by @theafnation

I guess I missed when offended became a personality type

There’s lots of problems out there to voice your opinion on

Let’s use it for the things that actually matter, not just @shanemgillis doing his job 😅 by @theafnation

the funny part is - people are thinking these changes are happening fast 👀

“she must’ve lost A LOT”

But what you’re actually seeing is the result of over 10 YEARS of building muscle

Years of training, eating to support growth, progressive overload, & showing up when there wasn’t a dramatic physical change happening

And this is exactly why I want women to stop making the number on the scale the centre of their entire fitness journey

Because losing weight & building the physique you want are NOT the same thing

Muscle creates shape & changes how your body looks at different levels of body fat

Two women can weigh the exact same amount & have completely different body compositions

And depending on how much muscle you’ve built, you may not need to lose nearly as much body fat as you think to see noticeable definition

And that’s the difference this time around for me - if I would’ve only focused on what the scale was telling me, I’d think I’m failing

Stop chasing a smaller number at the expense of building the body you want

I said what I said 🫰🏽

No perfect nutrition plan

Or consistent workout schedule

Is ever going to outwork a toxic relationship you have with yourself

If you want to save time & energy, start there first 🫶🏽 by @theafnation

if you keep getting stuck in the same loop & really, really want to make progress

one of the biggest things you need to look at is the relationship you have with yourself

because it determines how often you let your emotions dictate your actions

how much energy you waste fighting yourself, criticizing yourself, starting over, or trying to force yourself into a version of you that no longer fits

& it most definitely impacts how long it takes before you finally feel like “you’re getting there”

when people say the most important relationship you have is the one you have with yourself, this is why

because that relationship follows you into everything

how you show up mentally

how you take care of yourself physically

what you believe you’re capable of

what you tolerate

how you respond when life gets hard

& whether you can actually trust yourself to keep going when things don’t go perfect

you’re with you for the rest of your life

might as well learn how to be on your own team 🤍 by @theafnation

Because at the end of the day, I don’t just want you healthier

I want you equipped for your life

A stronger body, a calmer mind, & a life you genuinely love

RESILIENCE 🙌🏽

the AF Nation word of the year

why?

because the one who wins in life realizes that it isn’t the challenges that make you lose

it’s the challenges that shape who you are

the challenges are going to happen no matter who you are, where you are, or what you do

so instead of running from them

we build RESILIENCE to embrace them + let them continue to grow us as women 🤍 by @theafnation
